With each fear you face and push aside your courage and confidence grow.

The calendar on my iPhone will remind me of an appointment. I’ll set a reminder on my digital assistant (Alexa) to remind me to buy a birthday gift. As much as we plan and organize our coming days, they remain a mystery. When we wake we step into the unknown. The day may hold great opportunities, challenges, or a combination of both. It takes courage to walk into the unknown filled with confidence and the belief that we are stronger than any challenge. And, with the hope that only good things will come our way. Keep your eyes and heart open for great opportunities. Your journey to date has prepared you to face and defeat any challenge you face.
Start with the tough tasks and the easy ones will fall into place. We all share a defense mechanism where we find something else to do instead of facing the tough tasks. The best way is to start by diving right in. When my students were writing their dissertations, some found it nearly impossible to start writing. I’d tell them I want the first sentence to the first paragraph on the first page. I didn’t care about the quality of the sentence. I wanted to read a sentence. Once the student started with the first sentence, it became easier. It’s true with all the tough tasks we face. Start, do something, anything. The rest follows.
We become like the people we hang out with. Hang out with people who inspire you, challenge you to rise to the next level, and who are kind and loving.
